Even the pesky flies seem to have been almost non existent this year.

Oh, we've had flies all bloody summer. First time for a few years. I can send you some!

 

[PaulSB]

All the spiders are in my bathroom and the pantry.

We have all the English ones. Busy scuttling across the front room floor as I rapidly pull my legs up on to the couch. 🤣

Then there's the little buggers spinning their cocoon like nests full of eggs.....mainly on the window frames.

Biological specimens cost extra to send, and I don't think many companies accept live specimens.

Most are flat for ease of packing and minimal postage cost.......

It's the biological part that raises the cost. Royal Mail will only do approved packages, to approved addresses.
is, pooh sticks.

I see the cost of a first class stamp is going up to £1.65 next month! The service is shocking now and I can see them pricing themselves out of the market completely. I have my suspicions that they might even be chucking stuff out. I used to get mail most days, even if it was just newsletters, catalogues, etc but I’ve had nothing in weeks.

They don't want people sending letters anymore. They want packages and parcels as they get more money from that.

I think most of them are in my bedroom.
Had several huge ones scampering around our ceiling last night.

It'll probably scamper off.
They don't bother me or MrsD in the slightest.

Bonjour. It is a day of showers and windy so I am staying indoors and reflect today. I might come up with some bright ideas, who knows?

Can't say I like them, especially those big hairy b*ggers that look at you as though they're weighing up lunch.
We have a abundance of BIG slimy slugs in the garden and patio. Don't recall ever seeing them that big before.
